Credit to the lad he owned up and apologised and is trying to make amends, It's easy to get carried away with local football banter. Credit should also be given to the family for accepting his apology.

What he said was far from football banter.

Credit to the lad? Are you serious?

Normal people don't just decide one day they are going to send grossly abusive tweets concerning disabled people. This abhorrent @rsewipe shouldn't be given any credit whatsoever and should be prosecuted for sending malicious offensive communications.

tell me wluv or whatever you are calling yourself - what do you know about football banter? you are every bit as bad as this kid and as a 17yr old he probably doesn't know any better (doesn't exonerate him)

whilst you on the other hand have got some form of tourettes when it comes to your vile postings on here.

It amazes me that some people who disagree with offensive comments think it's ok to make death threats to the person who made them. Surely that's as bad, if not worse.

It also saddens me to see calls for people to be prosecuted for saying nasty things on Twitter. That's a huge over reaction. The police have enough to do without looking for offence on social networking sites

We should be careful before we start demanding people get prosecuted for the things they say - even when we don't like those things they say.

A spoken opinion, even an odious one that we don't like, is just an opinion. Once we accept certain opinions warrant prosecution today, I worry which opinions will also warrant prosecution tomorrow?
